GABF 2017

I am as I am not a Colorado resident, or have done GABF for the last 10 years, this is my second year. I feel that there has been a lot more out of state non distro distribution this year. I don’t remember Lawson’s or non regular distro beers in town last year.

I could be totally wrong, as this is only my 2nd year, and last year I was in shock and awe

 

There was definitely some Lawson last year, but nowhere near as much... last year there was tons of different Bells too, but haven’t seen it since.

I have no idea how this all works, but I couldn’t be happier about it— even though I didn’t get any 2017 Expedition

 

Last year was my first year at GABF, so there was a lot of shock and awe. I had some Lawson's on tap, but never saw it in stores.....I easily could've been blinded, by all the other quality brews. If you want, I could possibly grab some for you to trade $4$, or just $$$. Either way. It probably wouldn't be a full 6er, but easily 4 bottles. Let me know my friend!

 

I fly in tomorrow afternoon

 

I was talking with one of the beer guys at Bogeys yesterday and he said they definitely got more SoS than they did last year. They had a 2-4pack limit. Sounds like a lot more of that particular beer was sent to Colorado this year. Also, saw 12packs of Lawson's Super Session a Argonaut. Unlike SoS, that was an easy pass.

 

Yeah, I bought a 6-pack and I was HUGELY disappointed with this years batch of Super Session #8. Has anyone tried this batch of SoS?

 

FYI - Bull & Bush is fully stocked. 41 taps including the Brain, Oil, Tank Town, Notch, and Maple.

 

I was actually there this last weekend and all of those were on. They had a great set of guest taps too, including: Famille Dupont Pommeau de Normandie. That was an awesome find.

 

This is my first time going and the fest starts tomorrow. Can someone please inform me how or why they have not posted the beer list yet? Appreciate the help on this.

 

They will post sometime right before the festival. They like to keep the beer list under lock right up until the festival.

 

According to a post on Facebook, the app is going to be updated today with the beer list.

 

Same. Very sad about missing this.

 

Thirded.

 

Just got here. Surprisingly only about 8 people total in line.

 

Thanks for the help everyone! Coming in from Chicago for my first GABF. Looking forward to trying all the local CO brews I keep hearing about!

 

Are they opening early or still at 1130 like usual?

 

11:30 as usual. About 40+ in line at Lowdown. 5 of us lucky patrons currently sitting at the bar awaiting the tapping. Heading straight to Hops and Pie afterwards.

 

There’s about 40ish in line at Hops and Pie right now

 

Really hoping the BA abraxas sticks around until 2 or so.
